| − | On October 2022, [[Twitter]] users noted liberal actress [[Susan Sarandon]] reposted a photo to her Twitter which echoed a similar statement expressed by former Star Wars actress Gina Carano, who was cancelled by Disney and her agents for this statement.

Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views," she wrote. |
